“We are proud of the members at National Airlines who have worked together with their negotiating team to secure the contract they deserve,” said IAM District 142 President and Directing General Chair John M. Coveny. “We look forward to working with our membership as this new contract is implemented and appreciate your steadfast solidarity.”
National Airlines Flight Attendants voted overwhelmingly to join the IAM in January 2022, then attended a negotiations preparation class at the IAM’s William W. Winipisinger Center in June 2022.
“It has been an honor to be at the negotiating table with this strong committee,” said IAM Airline Coordinator Tom Regan. “The solidarity of this group made it possible to obtain just a strong first agreement that will help set the standard for future contracts at National Airlines.”
The IAM represents approximately 55 Flight Attendants at the Orlando-based airline.
“The Air Transport Territory continues to grow and raise standards throughout the industry,” said IAM Air Transport Territory Chief of Staff Edison Fraser. “We’re thrilled for National Airlines Flight Attendants and we’re so glad their voices are being heard.”
